Found this image on a website (probably from Japan, not sure) that had a song of mine on running on autoplay whenever you hit the site. The site seems to have vanished. I've reposted the song here, below the image. This is a continuing series of content from this blog getting new contexts courtesy the WWW. Frank Stella would be very mad.

screenshot of the website of cindeeloocupcakes. click for larger version. the "jackson pollock" is my jackson pollock from miltos manetas' hoax "paint a jackson pollock" web utility, drawn a while back. i worked really hard on that jackson pollock--the medium is not very conducive to making anything that looks remotely like something of jack the dripper's
post about quantifying Pollock: "Pollock is a perennial target for computer geeks. Besides these DIY-Pollock programs ... we were recently subjected to a barrage of hype about the computer science prof who could purportedly identify fake Pollocks by measuring drip sizes, fling rates, and so forth. And a few years before that, critic Pepe Karmel used computer analysis of Hans Namuth's studio photos of Pollocks-in-progress to determine that beneath the convoluted abstraction lay images of the human figure, which Pollock 'always drew first.'"
Am belatedly discovering this flickr set by cosmic_disciple, aka Travis Hallenbeck, titled "Bitmap." (Above is a detail of the thumbnails.) I'm honored to have some images in the group, from when Travis visited my studio a while back and took photos. This group is a nice complement to the Bitmap exhibition, which ran at vertexList and is travelling this summer to Drexel University in Philadelphia (June 23 - July 25).
Relationships between low-resolution computer images, fabric designs, folk art, and Bauhaus-influenced modernist art are fertile territory and Travis has been seeking out this material for years.
